Occasional Cinema @Blue Sky - present 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople'

A national manhunt is ordered for a rebellious kid and his foster uncle who go missing in the wild New Zealand bush.

Quirky style and highly individual cast members make for a
fascinating study of what life can be like for people on the edge of
society. Lots of humanity, although often well hidden (and a few people
in authority who would give those tormenting Daniel Blake a run for
their money) make for a chase which has you on the edge of your seat
right up to the last minute.

Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky gets a fresh
start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home
with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous
Uncle Hec, and dog Tupac. When Ricky is threatened with a move to
another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national
manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go
out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a
family. Equal parts road comedy and rousing adventure story, director
Taika Waititi masterfully weaves lively humor with emotionally honest
performances by Sam Neill and Julian Dennison. A hilarious, touching
crowd-pleaser that reminds us about the journey that growing up is (at
any age), and those who help us along the way.
